CVE-2025-53114: Acknowledgement extension out of memory

June 10, 2026

Bad clients that always send a fixed batch value while the server is using the acknowledgement extension can cause the unacknowledged message queue to grow indefinitely, eventually resulting in an OutOfMemoryError.

Such bad clients would always send:

{
"channel": "/meta/connect",
...
"ext": { "ack": 1 }
}

The server would never clear the unacknowledged message queue, and one bad client can cause a server outage.
